  • The Muscular System Views
    1 PRE-LAB EXERCISES Before coming to lab, get familiar with a few muscle groups we’ll be exploring during lab. Using Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas, go to the Views section. Under Systems, scroll down to the Muscular System views. Select the view Expression and find the following muscles. When you select a muscle, note the book icon in the content box. Selecting this icon allows you to read the muscle’s definition. 1. Occipitofrontalis (epicranius) 2. Orbicularis oculi 3. Orbicularis oris 4. Nasalis 5. Zygomaticus major Return to Muscular System views, select the view Head Rotation and find the following muscles. 1. Sternocleidomastoid 2. Scalene group (anterior, middle, posterior) 2 IN-LAB EXERCISES Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the head and neck region of the muscular system. As you explore the modules, locate the muscles on any charts, models, or specimen available. Please note that these muscles act on the head and neck – those that are located in the neck but act on the back are in a separate section. When reviewing the action of a muscle, it will be helpful to think about where the muscle is located and where the insertion is. Muscle physiology requires that a muscle will “pull” instead of “push” during contraction, and the insertion is the part that will move. Imagine that the muscle is “pulling” on the bone or tissue it is attached to at the insertion. Access 3D views and animated muscle actions in Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas, which will be especially helpful to visualize muscle actions.

  • A Note Ontwo Abnormal Laryngeal
    A NOTE ON TWO ABNORMAL LARYNGEAL MUSCLES IN A ZULU BY LAWRENCE H. WELLS AND EDRIC A. THOMAS Department of Anatomy, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg CHARLES, a Zulu labourer, aged 69, died of pulmonary tuberculosis on September 2nd, 1925. His body was dissected in the Department of Anatomy of the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. In the course of the dissection there were observed, in addition to various pathological conditions, numerous structural abnormalities not referable to pathological causes. Of the pathological conditions, the principal were ad- vanced pulmonary tuberculosis accompanied byenlargementof the rightatrium of the heart, duodenal ulcer, and degenerative changes in the small intestine, accompanied by widespread haemorrhages into the submucous coat, which were regarded by Dr A. Sutherland Strachan, Senior Lecturer in Pathology, as due to anthrax. There were also present an enlarged liver, complete fibrosis of the left vertebral artery, and appearances in the kidney suggesting paren- chymatous nephritis. Among the abnormalities observed were the following: The hemiazygos vein emerged from the substance of the kidney near the upper pole, and formed with the accessory hemiazygos and left superior intercostal veins a continuous venous trunk opening into the left innominate vein. On the left side the subscapular and posterior circumflex humeral arteries had a common origin from the third part of the axillary artery. On the right side the subscapular artery arose from the second part of the axillary artery instead of from the third part. On the right side also the radial artery divided into its two terminal branches some distance proximal to the wrist joint.

  • Appendix B: Muscles of the Speech Production Mechanism
    Appendix B: Muscles of the Speech Production Mechanism I. MUSCLES OF RESPIRATION A. MUSCLES OF INHALATION (muscles that enlarge the thoracic cavity) 1. Diaphragm Attachments: The diaphragm originates in a number of places: the lower tip of the sternum; the first 3 or 4 lumbar vertebrae and the lower borders and inner surfaces of the cartilages of ribs 7 - 12. All fibers insert into a central tendon (aponeurosis of the diaphragm). Function: Contraction of the diaphragm draws the central tendon down and forward, which enlarges the thoracic cavity vertically. It can also elevate to some extent the lower ribs. The diaphragm separates the thoracic and the abdominal cavities. 2. External Intercostals Attachments: The external intercostals run from the lip on the lower border of each rib inferiorly and medially to the upper border of the rib immediately below. Function: These muscles may have several functions. They serve to strengthen the thoracic wall so that it doesn't bulge between the ribs. They provide a checking action to counteract relaxation pressure. Because of the direction of attachment of their fibers, the external intercostals can raise the thoracic cage for inhalation. 3. Pectoralis Major Attachments: This muscle attaches on the anterior surface of the medial half of the clavicle, the sternum and costal cartilages 1-6 or 7. All fibers come together and insert at the greater tubercle of the humerus. Function: Pectoralis major is primarily an abductor of the arm. It can, however, serve as a supplemental (or compensatory) muscle of inhalation, raising the rib cage and sternum. (In other words, breathing by raising and lowering the arms!) It is mentioned here chiefly because it is encountered in the dissection.

  • Laryngeal Nerve “Anastomoses” L

Naidu, L. Lazarus, P. Partab, K.S. Satyapal Department of Clinical Anatomy, School of Laboratory Medicine and Medical Sciences, College of Health Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville Campus, Durban, South Africa [Received 5 July 2013; Accepted 29 July 2013] Laryngeal nerves have been observed to communicate with each other and form a variety of patterns. These communications have been studied extensively and have been of particular interest as it may provide an additional form of innervation to the intrinsic laryngeal muscles. Variations noted in incidence may help explain the variable position of the vocal folds after vocal fold paralysis. This study aimed to examine the incidence of various neural communications and to determine their contribution to the innervation of the larynx. Fifty adult cadaveric en-bloc laryngeal specimens were studied. Three different types of communications were observed between internal and recurrent laryngeal nerves viz. (1) Galen’s anastomosis (81%): in 13%, it was observed to supply the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle; (2) thyroary- tenoid communication (9%): this was observed to supply the thyroarytenoid muscle in 2% of specimens and (3) arytenoid plexus (28%): in 6%, it supplied a branch to the transverse arytenoid muscle. The only communication between the external and recurrent laryngeal nerves was the communicating nerve (25%). In one left hemi-larynx, the internal laryngeal nerve formed a communication with the external laryngeal nerve, via a thyroid foramen.

The nature of musculoskeletal interconnection facilitates sta- bility, voluntary movement, and robustness to injury. However, a fundamental understanding of this network and its control by neural systems has remained elusive. Here we utilize medical databases and mathematical modeling to re- veal the organizational structure, predicted function, and neural control of the musculoskeletal system. We construct a whole-body musculoskeletal network in which single muscles connect to multiple bones via both origin and insertion points. We demonstrate that a muscle’s role in this network predicts suscep- tibility of surrounding components to secondary injury. Finally, we illustrate that sets of muscles cluster into network communities that mimic the organi- zation of motor cortex control modules.

  • Observations on the Laryngeal Muscles of Madam Tamaki Miura, Primadonna of the "Madam Butterfly"
    Observations on the Laryngeal Muscles of Madam Tamaki Miura, Primadonna of the "Madam Butterfly" By Koichiro Oishi (Clinic of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, Affiliated Hospital of Tokyo University Medical School) The larynx is one of the principal parts of the vocal mechanism. As far as its anatomical structure is concerned, man and anthropo- morphous apes show no essential differences". Therefore, this organ can hardly be expected to show any fundamental differences in type of development in men of great singing abilities as compared with or- dinary men. However, qualities of the voice vary considerably among individuals of the same size, age and sex. This is undoubtedly due to delicate and yet intricate differences in anatomical details of the larynx in different individuals, and furthermore, as generally known, individualities exist to more or less extent in the laryngeal muscles automatically and involuntarily controlling the vocal cords, the gener- ator of proper tones and in groups of muscles which act as their attributes. These are sometimes left out of description as meaning- less fibers of the muscles and they are sometimes treated as variant or independent muscular bundles. It is, of course, impossible to find from the results of dissections the relation between actions of the muscle fibers or bundles that may be placed in the category of individual variations and the tonal qua- lities of one's voice, unless the phonetical history of the larynx spe- cimen is thoroughly known. But even if its history is known in details, the problem would still remain to be a difficult one at the present state of our knowledge.
